	 Keeping My Integrity
		
		I've posted my grievance towards R.  One officemate said she felt the same way towards him.  I got that.
My post was not intended to aggravate anyone's story of him.  After some talk with some people last night, I was able to acknowledge that I am upset with him.  
I wanted to present to R that he should also be responsible for whatever circumstances that he was/is/would be in.  As I make him aware of it, I was also attached to the result of making a difference.  However, I shouldn't be.  It would all be up to him to do it for himself. I just have to accept him as he is.
However, I am also respecting my word.  I am committed to investmy time talking to optimistic people.  So, I am no longer eating lunch with him.  I may not look good in the eyes of other people for this, but I have to honor my word.  
And it's definitely better than me eating lunch with him and fuming while chewing.
This is one way of honoring my word.
